Impossible to replicate The Secret History, but The Little Friend is rather an achievement too, it's more than ten years since it was published but I still remember almost every detail. Can never reread it though as it did nothing for my poisonous snake phobia.

I've not been able to find anything remotely like her - she's a one off. I do manage to find other stuff I enjoy reading but she has a unique style. I always got the impression that Harriet in TLF is based upon her.
